Investors have continued to pile into funds with a focus on gold and silver amid a fall in prices. The gold price tumbled last Tuesday, interrupting a run of extremely strong performance. Meanwhile, the share price discounts to net asset value on commodity investment trusts widened last week, suggesting some investors were taking profits.
Others seemingly saw this as a chance to buy in, with Golden Prospect Precious Metal Ord GPM
entering the list of top-selling funds in ISAs for the week. The trust had experienced one of the biggest instances of discount widening and is sitting on huge gains for 2025.
Meanwhile, an open-ended rival, Jupiter Gold & Silver, climbed into fourth place. A renewable energy infrastructure trust entered the list in the form of Greencoat UK Wind UKW
which had hovered in 15th place a week earlier. The trust hasn’t seen any recent major news but its yield, which comes to more than 9%, is likely proving a draw for some.
It’s one of a few income plays in the list, with Artemis Global Income still in sixth place and UK income stalwart City of London Ord CTY
clinging on in 10th place. The Artemis fund has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 3.5%, while CTY shares currently trade on a 4.1% yield.
Some other investor favourites remain hard to shake. Royal London Short Term Money Mkt Y Acccontinues its long reign at the top of the list, while L&G Global Technology Index climbs one rung to second place.
The L&G fund is a straightforward way to bet big on some of the biggest US stocks: NVIDIA Corp NVDA
accounts for almost 16% of the fund, with Microsoft Corp
MSFTand Apple Inc AAPL each on weightings of almost 14%.
Two of Vanguard’s LifeStrategy portfolios, which offer exposure to a mixture of stocks and bonds using tracker funds and have something of a home bias to UK equities, make it into the list again. But only one more conventional global tracker fund, HSBC FTSE All-World Index, now sits in the top 10.
